[Q] Note not charging anymore? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The past few weeks I've had the problem that my Note was charging very slowly (light/normal use while charging would still discharge the battery). The wall chargers I'm using are fine, I have no problems with them to charge my S3. Also when I jiggled the cable while charging my Note it would stop/start charging.
Now however it seems like my battery isn't getting charged at all. My phone shut down a few days ago and when I now connect the charger the icon shown in the attachment to this post is displayed.
The warranty expired already so I want to fix it myself. I figured I should start by replacing the usb connector so I already ordered this: http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/USB-Cha...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5d3d5740d4&_uhb=1
Anything else that could be causing the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like drawn by hand. Did you consider a new battery? Thanks for the link btw. Good to know...

Yes I drew the picture in paint. I already tried with a different battery but that's not the problem.
The replacement part will take about 5 days to arrive, I'm hoping that fixes it but if there's anything else you guys can think of I can maybe order that too so I can fix my phone next weekend.

Replacing that part should fix your charging problem.
Just make sure that you get the same revision as the original part, or there will be consequences.

Where can you see wich revision you got?
gesendet mit Tapatalk

You can see it right there.
The one you ordered is rev 1.0

I don't have my small screwdrivers with me atm so I can't check yet. My Note is a little over 2 years old, hopefully it uses rev 1.0.

Just a quick update. The usb module was delivered today and it was very easy to open everything up and switch the parts. The problem seems to be fixed, the phone charges fine and everything works ok.

anybody?
yes, I also noticed that. But its not always. This may be caused by the cahrger or the socket itself, if there are other devices plugged in as well. Touchscreens do react very fast on any kind of unnormal powersupply. I have 3 of those original Motorola wall chargers. but i noticed that only on one of those. maybe its the socket where it is plugged in or the charger itself. i will test is later while recharging my phone.
I noticed this for the first time today. Very strange. And annoying.

I change my charge for another but LG. Same problem. My city is 220v is not 110v.
I know if was more of a common issue on older phones..... perhaps this lovely problem is back with the Intel chips.

What firmware version have you ?
I upgraded mine with latest EU firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936512
My Razr was not up to date.
Not a big update but I noticed some improvement: No more lag when zooming out/in the home page, NFC notification get an icon near the clock, before it was a " standard app notification".
I never notice the sluggish touchscreen, maybe this issue is solved on this firmware.

The last version. I update in the last week. FW: Brazilian version 87111012012.XT890
I've had this problem on a number of Motorola phones (and others) and believe it's something to do with earthing/grounding. That could be why it varies from one charger to another, or even perhaps how much current is flowing through the charger.
I'm not an electrical expert, so I might be talking nonsense - but I don't think it will be firmware related.

there are problem with charger or is my house? Here is 220 volts.
So finally i got my battery empty after 2,5 Days
Just tested it with my old charger from a Mielstone 2 and the new one.
There is no lag or slowdown with the new one, but with my old charger the phone reacts very bad especially to light touch gestures. So i guess its a problem with the AC charger. I have 230V here in Germany. Or the Touchscreen (digitizer) is just too cheap and can't handle a non perfect Current/Voltage.
I tested with diferent charger and same problem. I pick up a Samsung SII and some problem with my chargr and I use anothers charge with Samsung II same problem too. I have a LG P500 and dont have problem. Whats happens? Samsung SII and Razr I there are delay in touch but LG P500 I dont have this problem USB never problem.

[Q] Galaxy note charging issue - replaced charging port but still not fixed. help

Hi All,
I have read other threads and can not find answer so that is why i am creating this thread.
basic things to know...
1. Got my Galaxy Note (GN) off ebay. It came with the following major issue: "cannot be charged via laptop's usb port or wall socket"
2. GN does not have a custom rom. It is unlocked to any network. So, i am assuming it has a "stock rom". can someone tell me how to verify that?
3. I looked into various threads and ultimately decided to replace my usb charging port.
4. I should mention that before any replacement of parts whatsoever, i could see my device on windows and transfer files etc. via usb connection.
5. before and after replacement, it says its "charging" but nothing gets charged. If anything the battery level goes down. This suggests to me that there is an issue with charging circuitry somewhere? anyone can shed light on it?
6. Currently i am using an external charger to charge up my battery. Battery is fine as it gets charged up, just fine.
7. What other options do i have to find out the solution to my charging issues. Anything i can do to narrow down the issue further?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ebay is your best friend. You can change the charging usb port for less than 10 dollars. I bought mine from chinese supplier. The board cost me less than 9 dollars, shipped. It came within 2 weeks. You must open up your phone (8 tiny screws- see youtube video on how to open up n7000). The board comes out easily. You must check the revision on the usb port. Mine is 1.0. It also comes in 0.0, 0.8 and 2.0. I got the exact one with matching colors as the original part. I saw the same board in different revisions and with different colored boards. I got the same exact one, looking at the ebay picture. I was able to change my board in less than 10 minutes. problem solved.

I have already changed the usb port and the problem persists.
How much of an issue will it be if the revision number do not match up with original one?
i dont have tools infront of me so i cant check whether there is a direct match or not.
thanks for reply.

I think matching the revision is important. you must have your original part to verify which was the original revision. I have seen on threads where the revision was not matched and the part didn't help solve the problem.

Check if U607 and R619 are good, they are on the main board.
Download service manual to identify those parts and first check for bad solder joint.
I hqve the same priblem but i didnt check the part numbers gunna have a look for them now. In all honesty i thought it wouldnt matter as they may have been all the exact same

Whoah, seriously? Seems kinda like overkill. What I've heard most is having to hold the cable in 'just' the right position for it to charge, which doesn' t sound like a mainboard issue, since the charge port is connected via a ribbon block (and an antenna cable).
What's odd is that the charge port board on mine has this problem, but it is ROCK SOLID and the connector blade inside is totally clean. Pushing the plug down towards the back of the phone would, based on the physical layout of the internal USB pins, if anything, REDUCE contact pressure. It seems like this is a non-permanent problem and I SWEAR I saw an amazon post somewhere where a guy describes a simple physical mod that suddenly lets all normal charges work fine. Just can't find it...
I have a Samsung Note 2, same thing...not charging through the port, battery is good, charger is good, changed the charge port circuit and nothing...re installed the operating system, it's unlocked, rooted..works fine as long as I charge the battery externally...I have no idea what to do or which direction to go...any help...and I'll keep everyone posted as to the results of any suggestions...goo part is...I know how to get the thing apart....Blessings, As Always...
Same here - changed micro usb board and still not charging
Hi
I have the same problem. Have samd=sung galaxy note N7000 and suddenly stopped charging.
I changed the micro-usb port - it is the same version as the one inside. The mobile is still not charging! :crying:
Has anyone found a solution to this ?
even stranger
Have just noticed that the mobile charges fine in the car with the charger that originally caused the problem.
However it will charge with nothing else - neither USB port of PC not directly to wall socket.
Could the car charger have set it to charge at a higher voltage?

Hi all,
Sorry to revive an ageing thread but this still seems to be an issue at large.
I have a question:
I am a little confused. After seeing a number of these charge port PCB's on Ebay, some sellers are saying only for Rev 0.8 and others say nothing at all, yet in ALL the images from numerous sellers, the PCB's have Rev 1.0 written on them including my own N7000's charge port PCB.
Please could someone enlighten me?
Many thanks!
changed usb port after charging probs
Hi there,
I am having the same damn problem. After having charging probs and a loose connection, I decided to buy a new usb port and everything should be fine again. After replacing the port i tried to charge before installing the back case part and everything worked! But after putting the phone back into the case it went back to the problem like before replacing the port. It is loose and i cant get a pc connection to work.
So after disassembling it several times and reading forum posts in several boards i found this thread which has not the answer for the problem but some suggestions what could cause the problem.
I think it is not worth it to change the Motherboard too but if someone could test it that would help I think.
In another board someone wrote he had 3 port boards bought and they were all dead on arrival. So i believe this could also be the problem what do you think? Did anyone try different replacement parts from different shops?
And is yours charging if you do not install the backplate/backcase?
where did you buy the port? and is it same revision that was in their.
I think a new cable (proper quality) fixes it
that or pc driver reinstall

Hello,
Got a similar problem. Samsung note 1 (n7000) wasn't charging the battery. Holding the mini usb down was the trick.
I bought a new charging port and replaced it. The thing....it is charging now...but giving me: Emergency calls only!
Send back that part and got it replaced.... Just installed it and again: Emergency calls only...
It does show that it has reception. It's not due to my carrier as sim in another phone is working ok. Replacing the old part solves the problem.
If anyone has an idea how to solve this problem.....PLEASE let me know.
Regards

try these:

Open up the phone again. and check the screws that hold down the usb port
the speaker is attached to the plastic cover on top of the usb port. it is not making contact with the right points.
try it whilst the phone is on, play a audio or video file and hold down that part with your fingers. u will see that it will work.
meaning that the screws are either loose or too tight and not properly aligned.

[Q] Anyone else have broken wireless charging? Help me out.

Hey guys.
I bought one of those NewWisdom stickers and it worked like a charm..... for a week. Then it would sit on the charger, show charging for a second, and then it would "disconnect". I am using multiple Tylt's and other chargers that I know work, but this error happened.
I read that the little stickers can be crappy and go bad, so I asked for a warranty replacement. I got a new one, installed it, and bam, same issue right away.
Is it more likely that I got 2 faulty charging stickers? Or that something is wrong on the inside of the phone?
I know you've posted on the threads re: the sticker.
Re: breakdown of the charging, I think the most relevant thread re: this is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/qi-stopped-t3176818
Though lots of reports here too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/wireless-charging-meltdowns-t3163156
Are you saying that right after the new sticker install, it never worked? Or it worked, then stopped?
It's becoming a widespread issue. Not everyone, but A LOT of folks.
My personal opinion, based on my observations on 2 phones using an OEM charging back, with a new sticker as a backup checker, is it is a hardware issue within the phone. Or perhaps some software issue tied into the hardware.

Thanks for the links. The Additional information helps.
I posted to see what sticker was best and if anyone had one die on them. Seems that this is common enough. I hadn't posted this exact question before.
The new one i bought never worked. I know the pins are lined up and I even padded the back of them a little. My QI pads all show a green light, then a red light. Makes me think the sticker works just fine, but the inside of the phone is FUBARed.
I want to like this phone, i really do.
yeah i use cheap china 5 dollar qi pad with g3 few weeks and wierless charging gone...

Hahah, me too! The camera, if you don't get one with a pink tinge overlay, is fantastic! The iffy touchscreen issues are fixed with the 10N update!
The fact the wireless charging capability keeps breaking down as a hardware issue is ridiculous though.
I may post a poll to see if anyone has managed to keep their charging ability >1 month. Maybe when more time passes, as the phone is still quite new.
Just to let people know... I got a replacement today and the back that didn't work on my current phone works perfectly on the new one. For some reason... This issue is tied to the phone and not the stickers coming out.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Yup there's definitely a faulty part in these phones.
Let us know how long the wireless charging lasts on this one.
Just a note, my wireless charging also stopped. It was a sticker I put on the original back. Just figured i'd screw with it later and that it probably wasn't making good contact so I picked up a regular wireless circle case to use in the meantime and it's also not charging. Likely something in the phone but I have no idea where to start. Oh well, that month of wireless charging was nice again. (and yes, I've tried different chargers that I know work, etc. Hah!)
Going strong for 4 weeks and still charging(with three different QI chargers and two different stickers). Possible cheap quality chargers are blowing out the hardware?

Always a thought, but I use the OEM original Samsung Qi charger, which has done fine with my S4 for years.
For any who have tried wireless charging, I have a poll and questionnaire re: your experience. Would greatly appreciate your input.

Fast Charging Stopped?

Got my Note 5 with the adaptive faster charger about 3 and a half weeks ago. On my second Note 5 now (had to send the first one in due to problems) and everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I would notice my phone saying "charging" and then I would have to unplug and plug it back in then the "fast charging" would appear. Now it doesn't ever go into "fast charging" and no matter what I do I always get "charging". I currently have 93% battery and it is telling me 15 minutes until full which seems a lot slower. I tried using my old Note 4 fast charger and get the same issue.
Anyone else with this issue? Wondering if it's the phone or actual charger and if there is anything I can do to get a replacement.
I never paid attention, but I just always figured that the adaptive charger would switch from 5V/2A to 9V/1.67A when it was nearing full charge.

Try a factory reset. If it doesn't work, get it exchanged asap.

I know this thread is kind of old but in case you havent resolved your issue. I had the same problem with my phone so I called warranty, they sent me a brand new charger with cable and it works fine now. I compared the one they sent as a replacement and the one that came with the phone and the replacement cable is actually a lot thicker and feels way more durable. My guess is Samsung cheaped out and threw in a crappy cable to save cost but it wears down A LOT faster than a durable heavy duty one like the replacement I got. Anyways the new charger is working 100% of the time and has held up for about a week so far. we'll see how much longer this cable last.

I actually called ATT customer service/warranty center. He told me he'd send me a new charger and cable and I needed to send back my old one. Got it in less than 2 days. Sorry for not being more specific. Also fast charging is still going 100% of the time on the new cable.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to give my provider a call. I can verify that once I switched the cable I have no issues fast charging. I'm not having a good experience with Samsung so far. When you charge almost $1,000 for a product I expect it to be free of defects in every day use. Meanwhile my cable is messed up after only 3 weeks of owning it and the phone has signal problems that require me to cycle airplane mode to get data working. Never had a problem with my Nexus phones or iPhones. Really poor qualify control.

Note 5 Fast Charging Doesn't always work

So I've had my Note 5 for a couple weeks now and I've noticed the phone doesn't always fast charge with the included charger. Sometimes the notification only shows "Cable Charging", I would have to unplug and replug the cable in to get the "Fast Charging" notification. It seems like the problem is the cable but it could very well be the software as well, I do not have another cable to test this theory. This shouldn't be happening I paid $900 for a smartphone with a capability that samsung heavily advertised.
I've contacted T-mobile and Samsung about the issue but they aren't admitting its a known issue. Anyone else experience this problem?
Apparently this is fairly widespread as I found a thread on androidcentral forums. (Can't post link due to filter)
I have noticed the same thing.
You SHOULD try with another cable.
I had the same problem until i tried using another cable and it works until now.
Change cable or restart. Restart works for me.

I've restarted the phone before, the thing is the problem resurfaces so as stated above it might be the cable's fault. If that is indeed the case, then Samsung needs to step up and stop shipping faulty cables or acknowledge the issue. They are letting a poor cable design ruin the reputation of otherwise a great phone, god this company can be stupid.
There are more than a handful of threads on this same topic in the Q&A section, you may want to read through them and see if you can find a solution.
